On the side of the cartridge there should be a green or black lever. You have to pull out the plastic cover from the ink cartridge then it should click in place. Also check inside your printer, it may have fell off that's why you don't see it.

The Green lever should be on your printer. However the Blake Printing Supply 3500B001AA, is designed for Cannon printers. If your printer is a Brother, then you may have purchased the incorrect replacement part for your printer.

I bought mine for Canon replacement cartridge. I can't say much for Brother printers. For canon, I have replaced the original, and still working great for me.

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

couple things i would check. first is there ink or such on the pins that read the cartridges, clean with q-tip and isopropyl alcohol. Much worse case, is there a crack on the carriage the printhead sits in or a loose cable to the carriage? or perhaps easiest of all. your cartridges pushed down until they clicked into place?

There's usually a message in the menu screen that indicates which color needs to be replaced but unless UR buying the printer company replacements whichever very expensive just replace all with the Blake company replacement cartridges n u should be printing with no problems

This probably sounds silly, but did you place the cartridge in the slot with the snap in front as seen in the picture of the cartridge? If so, be sure to push it in so that it clicks. If I remember correctly, the snap "pulls" forward and makes a clicking sound. Also, be sure the ink is facing down in the slot, being careful to keep it off your hands.

Lift up the top[srring loaded] then lift the black top w/glass " see release button on left side" make sure machine is turned on. the ink carriage should advance.

hi Ira, great question. I would suggest contacting Blake Printing Supply. If you go on Amazon and search for ink cartridges you will find them. I suggest using your ink cartridge number instead of your printer model number. They list all their compatible ink cartridges that work. hope this helps.M

User's Guide starting at page 74, Replacing Ink Cartridges. Do not take out cartridges if you do not need to replace. When told to replace, cartridge retains small amount of ink to prevent air from drying out and damaging print head. For each new cartridge you install, press yes for new to reset ink dot counter for that color. If not brand new, press no. I find nothing in the instructions that suggests that black only will not work. Colors obviously interact. To play it safe with your machine a visit to Brother on line would be my best advice.

I just slid them in mine and it worked. Make sure they are in correctly and firmly snap them in. Try rebooting computer and printer also. Make sure you have the latest printer drivers also.

Careful. My cartridge did not even fit in the place. Also it is more likely not detected by your printer as brother. I would not buy. Any review from 2014 on amazon are old and you don't see reviews for 2015 that tell you such cartridges work.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

I found that I sometimes had to punch out the film covering the part of the cartridge where the ink leaves it. That helped me out. They are sometimes a little hard to "click" in. You may want to play with that part of the cartridge (pull it away from the cartridge or pushing it in firmly.) Hope that this helps!

I installed the same toner cartridge just a few days ago, and I get exactly the same problem! (My printer is a Brother HL-2270DW) Unfortunately, I've been too busy with other things to follow up on it yet--or return the cartridge as defective. Hope someone else has an answer for us both!

Remove the CIS Ink System and then snap it back in. Also on the top right of the Ink cartridge is a small white button. Press the button for about 10 seconds, close the lid and check. You may also try youtube, they have a lot of answers for the CIS Ink System.

Is anyone out there a Macbook Pro owner with this issue? I've bought the ink and refilled my cartridges but I can't figure out how to reset them. I would love your help if you know the answer... (I'm about to spend $29 to buy a gadget that resets the chips but who knows if that's another crazy scheme!)Thanks, Samantha B

Hi. Please take the cartridges out, then please turn off printer and then wait 20 seconds. Then turn on printer and don't put in cartridges yet. Wait until the printer starts up. And when it prompts for the cartridges. Please put them in and do 2 test prints. This should work. Please let me know. Thank you
